Mastering the discipline forms readiness for independent research and practice in the field of modern clinical neuropsychology. Neuropsychological research is a relevant area of development for modern clinical practice. Neuropsychological changes caused by the action of pathological factors on the nervous system should be comprehensively studied and taken into account at various stages of the treatment process, from the initial history taking and diagnosis to the formulation of a rehabilitation plan and monitoring the dynamics of restoring the full functioning of the individual.
